Warrant - how do I set a hearing without being arrested in Seattle Municipal Court?

In Seattle Municipal Court if the
Warrant amount is
less than $10,000.00 you can go to the
first floor of the Seattle Justice Center, 600 Fifth Ave and set a hearing.
(you will see clerk windows after security on right) You will not usually
be taken into custody by the Court. However, the bench warrant will stay in place
until the warrant quash hearing is held. If the Judge made the warrant pr'able
(will say "
no PR" if applicable) the court clerk can just quash (cancel) it at
the window and set the next hearing for your case. (what type of hearing
- {arraignment, pre-trial, sentencing, review/revocation} will depend on what
stage of the case you were at when you missed your Court appearance) Obviously,
the above information is subject to change at any time without notice.
